The company announced in the Omaha papers on Oc
tober 23 and 24th, 1917, that they believed no man would
have his money in the company to exceed 20 months before
he would receive in dividends 30 per cent upon his preferred

a gift to the investor.

Small investments grow into big fortunes just as little
ttcorns grow into stately trees. But you must make the in
vestment. The acorn in the bin won't grow into a tree any
more than uninvested money will grow into a fortune. It
is necessary to act. This stock advances in price shortly and
this offer will not be repeated. In 6 months the factory
should be in operation and the stock should start earning
dividends. It may be earning dividends before you have fin
ished paying for your stock. "So get some of this stock while
you can at the special organization price. JWith every two
shares of Preferred you buy, one share of Common is given
free. You never had an opportunity to buy stock in the older
tire companies; Had you done so, a small investment would
have riven you an independent income for life. The Sprague
Tire ik Rubber Company is as good a bet as any of the older
companies were when they organized and I 00 per cent safer.
This is absolutely the last call. It's your last opportunity
your last chance. If you desire further information on this
company, fill out the Information Coupon and mail it today.
It will be impossible to call on you personally. You can mail

Won't Submit New Terms.
The present belief of the olHcials
is that there is not the slightest
probability of a complianco by the
United States and the allies with the
final demand of the German chan
cellor for the submission to them of
new proposals for peace.
Lord Robert Cecil, Uritish minis
ter of blockade, is reported as char
acterizing Chancellor von Hertling's
speech as "very warlike; certainly
not a peace speech"
Regarding the design to affect the
internal conditions of Germany and
Austria, oe official suggested that
the striking dilferencees of one in
the two notes, the German being al
most defiantly aggressive, and the
Austrian compromising and insinuat
ing, were calculated precisely to meet
the varying conditions in the two
empires.
Teutons by Leon Trotzky, the bol
sheviki minister for foreign affairs.
This attitude officials and diplomats
believe to be the result of apprehen
sion that the confession at this mo-mr-nt
of the failure of the Brest-Lit-ovsk
negotiations would exasperate
the German and Austrian publics be
yond the safety point.
In some quarters there was a dis
position to find a grain of hope in
tho concession by both speakers that
there were poi?its in the utterances
of Lloyd George and President Wil
son that might be acceptable to the
Germanic powers and afford the basis
of further discussions.
But other officials insisted that
this was only another demonstration
of the truth of President Wilson's
statement in his address to congress
that it was the practice of German
diplomacy to mislead by declaring
adherence to large principles and
thf-n neutralize them by insistence
upon details of quite another character.

Talks to Pan-Germans.
In Germany, strengthened by the
Russian collapse resulting in the
transfer of the vast forces from the
eastern to the western front, the
militaristic party is in the ascend
ency and the chancellor, abandoning
the conciliatory attitude he occupied
when be assumed office, apparently
voices the will of the military lead
ers. In Austria the working people are
reported in incipient rebellion,' and
the demands for peace at almost any
price are insistent and clamorous.
This is the explanaion found here
for the foreign minister's vague
promise of peace without annexation
or indemnities, and his special bid
for negotiations direct with America.
It is noted, however, that the
speeches are interdependent; that
Austria will not negotiate without
Germany's consent and approval, and
that Germany gives her sanction to
what has been done in Austria. Both
spokesmen express confidence in the
success of the peace negotiation';

denunciation of the conduct of the

that I could hardly get about. When
I got down, I had to take hold of
something before I could straighten.
Sharp pains often caught me across
my kidneys and for a minute I could
not move, the pains were so severe. I
couldn't ' rest well, my back ached
so badly. I tried different remedies,
but nothing did me any good until I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills.

Table.
Germany, through her imperial
chancellor. Count von Hertling and
Austria-Hungary, through her for
eign minister, Count Czernin, have
made reply to the peace terms of the
allies and the United States as re
cently enunciated by David Lloj-d
George, the British prime minister,
and President Wilson.
Although both Count von Hertling
and Count Czernin affect to see tho
possibility of coming into agreement
with their enemies on minor points,
the concrete bases essential to peace
are. declared to be unacceptable.
The spokesman for Germany was
uncompromisingly hostile to a
mapority of the peace aims as put for
ward by President Wilson, treating
seriatim in his address those upon
which Germany could not come into
accord.
Count Czernin was more moderate
in his treatment of 'President Wil
son's Ideas, declaring that the presi
dent's viewpoint, expressed in his
latest address to congress, showed
that there was less incompatibility
between Austria-Hungary and the
United States than had seemed to be
the case.
Won't Let Alsace Go.
From the German standpoint, ac
cording to Von Hertling, the restora
tion to France of Alsace-Lorraine is
beyond the realm of discussion. Re
garding Belgium, he declared that its
restoration could be settled only in
peace negotiations, but that Germary
never had demanded the incorpora
tion of Belgian territory "by viD
lence." Likewise methods of procedure in
the evacuation of northern France
must take account of Germany's vital
interests and be agreed upon between-Germany
and France.
The chancellor said the fate of
Poland and the Balkans and the re
adjustment of the Italian frontier
lies with Austria, while the evacua
tion of Russian territory concerns
only Russia and the central powers.
Germany, he added, considered that,
the integrity of Turkey and the safe
ty of its capital were closely con
nected with the questions of the
Dardanelles, which was of .vital in
terest to Germany.
See Exchange Peace Basis.
With regard to Russia, Count
Czernin said Austria-Hungary desir
ed no annexations or indemnities
"not a metre of territory, not a
kreutzer of indemnity" and that
Russia could have peace if she main
tained the same standpoint as she
evidently intended to do.
Both Count Hertling and Count
Czernin thought it obvious that the
exchange, of peace views with the
United States might form the start
ing point for a conciliatory discus
sion among all the state which had
not yet entered into the peace nego
tiations. In an address before the Japanese
diet Viscount Motono, the foreign
minister, reiterated the views pre
viously expressed by Premier Ter
auchi that Japan was in full ac
cord with her allies in the war and
that it was her intention to maintain
tranquility in the far east. -
